solipsistic NATION: Undiscovered Country | I have spent over 12 hours producing today’s show. This last surge of nervous energy is only going to last so long so let me give you the low down on today’s show before I collapse into a quivering heap of exhaustion. First off, I want to say goodbye to Adam Yauch, or as we know him, MCA of the Beastie Boys. I wasn’t a fan of their Licensed to Ill album because I could never get past their douchebag posturing. But there was no ignoring their Paul’s Boutique album and Check Your Head was virtually my soundtrack for 1992. As I was growing and maturing, the Beastie Boys were always a couple steps ahead of me, blazing the trail. Adam passed away last week. I’ll miss his wit, his compassion and his humanity. The world is a little colder place with one less Beastie. Namaste, Adam. Life is for the living, so let’s get on with it. This year’s Glade Festival is less than a month away and we’re going to bring it in with Benji Vaughan, who will be performing along with Raja Ram and Simon Posford on the Origin Stage Twisted Sound System. Between them, they are responsible for such ground-breaking music including, but not only, Shpongle, Hallucinogen, Younger Brother and Prometheus. The MUTEK Festival is also around the corner, taking place in Montreal May 30th to June 3rd. Last year we spoke with MUTEK founder, Alain Mongeau. This year we have the pleasure of talking with Patti Schmidt, the curator, programmer and web editor for MUTEK. Patti also has the distinction of being the voice for the CBC‘s Brave New Waves, a music program that features music and culture from the “fringes and the future.” We’ll also talk with Vibin.fm‘s founder, Brian O’Toole. Vibin.fm is the Pandora of electronic music and Brian will explain how it all works, us how Vibin.fm works. Want to have a little fun? Enter any of the other artists featured on today’s show at Vibin.fm and see what comes up. I heard some lovely music from Kuedo, Teebs and Byetone. Last but not least, we’ll chat with Craig Colorusso about his Sun Boxes. What are Sun Boxes? Sun Boxes are twenty speakers powered by solar panels. Each speaker has a different guitar note that loops. Once the piece begins they continually overlap and the piece slowly evolves over time. Oh, and be sure to check out Craig’s mobile Sun Boxes apps! Today’s show is free. But if you enjoyed yourself, learned something new or heard something you liked, tell a friend about the show. Want to go the extra mile? Write up a quick review on our iTunes page. The more people who know about solipsistic NATION the more shows like today’s I can produce. Join us again next week for a special mix featuring select tracks from the Audio Aashram Music catalog lovingly curated by Praketh, from the blueOrb podcast. See you then!

solipsistic NATION: Experimedia | Today on solipsistic NATION we’ll listen to select tracks from Experimedia, a record label, shop, and distributor based out of Ohio and established in 2000. I’ve known about Experimedia for quite some time and it’s kind of surprising that our paths haven’t crossed already. Experimedia consistently puts out quality releases, so much so that when I hear about an album that’s released on Experimedia, I just assume that it’s going to be fantastic. It’s that kind of dedication to excellence that I showcase labels on solipsistic NATION in the first place. This is music you need to hear. Jeremy Bible is the man behind Experimedia and he’ll also be performing tonight at the RCN CAVE in Akron, Ohio. If you came to solipsistic NATION from that show, then welcome aboard! < Want to hear more beautiful music from Experimedia? Check out the | 13 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

solipsistic NATION: Tripswitch, Live | On today’s show we have a very special live set from Nick Brennan of Tripswitch performing at the O.Z.O.R.A. Festival. Nick Brennan is Tripswitch and as Tripswitch he’s released music that is just fantastic stuff! Nick has this knack for making music that feels well-worn and new at the same time. There’s something about his music that’s instantly familiar and feels like he’s always been part of your record collection. There’s something very English about it, too, because his music is very dreamy and idyllic with a undercurrent of darkness that surfaces from time to time. It’s something I also recognized in Ott, who was our guest last June, and I think this strand can be traced back to The Orb, which can be further traced back to Pink Floyd. But that begs the question, how much further does this tradition go back in the history of English music? We’ll find out when we talk with Nick. We’ll also talk about his alter ego, Codemonkey, and his label, Section Records. Before we go any further, if you’re listening to today’s solipsistic NATION on Taint Radio then I’m afraid you’re not going to here the entire show. We’re going long because Nick has a very special recording of him performing at the O.Z.O.R.A. Festival. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Just download today’s show and you won’t miss a thing. While you’re here, why not visit out iTunes page and give the show a quick review. The more reviews solipsistic NATION gets, the higher ranking it gets on iTunes, which means more people might find out about the show. Which means more people might get turned on to Nick’s music, which would be awesome, right? Join us again next week when we’ll talk with Experimedia‘s Jeremy Bible. See you then!

solipsistic NATION: #twittermix4 | Welcome to #twittermix4! And here’s the part where I explain what that means. Explaining what it means is actually one of the #twittermix traditions. So here we go… When I first joined Twitter there wasn’t a lot of labels or musicians on Twitter, which made it almost useless as far solipsistic NATION was concerned. But I stuck around and gradually more and more labels and musicians came online on Twitter, which is also right about the time when Twitter became my social media platform of choice. Twitter had two things going for it that I came to cherish: it was ubiquitous and concise. Twitter’s 140 character limit forced you to say what you wanted to say with laser-like intensity. I thought it would be fun to put together a mix for solipsistic NATION featuring tracks from musicians on Twitter. I approached the artists I had met through Twitter for their participation and asked them to extend the invitation to musicians they new. I believe this was when retweeting came onto the scene. Heady times! Retweeting put me in touch with a lot of musicians I talk to to this day. Come to think of it, I guess that whole process is one of the traditions of the #twittermix. Anyway, I got a lot of great tracks and the show was a success, but I have to tell you, today’s #twittermix is the best. Not to diminish the previous #twittermixs but this one’s pretty special. Not only is the music as diverse as Twitter itself but the music is topnotch! As an added bonus, we’ll also talk with Clay Nutting, who is one of the people organizing this year’s Sacramento Electronic Music Festival. I really hope to make it to the festival because the’ve got some incredible talent from folks like James & Evander, Shlohmo, Mux Mool and more. If you plan on going, Tweet me on Twitter at @solipsistic and maybe we can meet up. Getting back to my point… I think Twitter is important to me because it also represents the spirit of solipsistic NATION. Through Twitter I am able to informally approach musicians and labels I would otherwise never get the chance to talk to, and that’s led to a lot of incredible shows and struck up a lot of friendships. In turns, musicians and labels have contacted me through Twitter as well as listeners of the show and people who just show up because they got word of the show or are just curious or the other myriad reasons. Twitter has helped me build up solipsistic NATION, reach out and collaborate and have a hell of a lot of fun. The more I think about it the more I’m convinced that solipsistic NATION could not exist without Twitter. Or be something very, very different without it.
